Inflamm Bowel Dis

Depression in Women With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Multifaceted Approach for a Multidimensional Problem.

We also discuss how depression affects males with IBD differently from females. Finally, we discuss the need for gender-based studies on depression in individuals with IBD.

Frail Phenotype in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

This is the first prospective study showing that frail phenotype occurs in nearly one-fifth of IBD patients. Data indicate that active IBD is an independent risk factor for frail phenotype in IBD.

J Crohns Colitis

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: a multi-centre ECCO CONFER case series.

Most ITP cases in this case series occurred after the IBD diagnosis and responded well to regular ITP treatment. The course of the ITP in the IBD patients follows an expected course, including response to medical therapy and low rates of splenectomy.

Pancreatology

Negative prognostic impact of sarcopenia before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.

Multivariate analysis, excluding muscle attenuation after NAC because of confounding factors and lower hazard ratio (2.08, 95% confidence interval: 1.14-3.78, p = 0.016) than that before NAC (2.14, 1.23-3.70, p = 0.007) by univariate analysis, revealed the following independent prognostic factors: muscle attenuation pre-NAC (2.25, 1.26-4.05, p = 0.007); borderline resectability (1.96, 1.04-3.69, p = 0.038); operative blood loss (2.60, 1.38-4.88, p = 0.003); and distant metastasis (3.31, 1.40-7.82, p = 0.006). Sarcopenia before and after NAC for PC is suggested to be a poor prognostic factor, with a stronger impact before than after NAC.

Shear-wave versus strain elastography in endoscopic ultrasound for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis.

EUS-SWE provides objective assessment for diagnosing and assessing the degree of CP defined according to the criteria of CT findings, RC, JPSC, or exocrine dysfunction, and it can be considered a non-invasive diagnostic tool for CP and exocrine dysfunction.
